• [first lines] 

  Uncle Martin : [waiting while Tim prepares dinner]  A little late with dinner tonight, aren't you, Tim?

  Tim O'Hara : Well, I had to work late tonight, and dinner doesn't cook itself.

  Uncle Martin : On Mars it does.

• Tim O'Hara : Now just one second, Uncle Martin. He is wrong about Mars. Now you tell me what is so brilliant about being wrong?

  Uncle Martin : Tim, sometimes we have to be wrong before we can be right. It was because Columbus was wrong that he discovered this continent. He thought he was sailing to India. If you're going to call Jennings a fraud, you've got to call Columbus a fraud, too.

• Tim O'Hara : How about your first romance?

  Professor Jennings : Well, when it happens, I'll tell you about it.
